Emerging Writers Program

This is a Mentoring Program for writers from other genres who would like to learn the finer points of writing on Food, Wine, and/or Travel topics.

This Program is a step toward membership in our organization that we offer to writers who would not otherwise qualify under our current requirements.

Please note that this program is for experienced, published writers only — it is not a writing course — you are expected to already be able to write well and know how to get published.

Each approved applicant is paired with a Mentor who is a member of our organization and who is a professional Food, Wine, and/or Travel writer.
